First Contact:
My first time to Kansas was by plane. Aunt Peg, Sam, and I landed at the airport in Kansas
City in order to attend a 1992 Kalb family reunion being held there. We took a

accompany us because my mother was too frightened to fly. After visiting family from all
over the area, I headed back with my parents through Iowa. As an adult, I have been to
Kansas only twice. |
